SOPHIA AND ME~A book about a child with autism and her brother.

I wrote this book with the inspiration of my two children Jacob and Sophia. Jacob is almost 13 years old and Sophia is 10.5 years old. Sophia was diagnosed with Autism at age 1.5 years of age. She also has developmental delays and speech apraxia. My sister Laurel Dunn beautifully illustrated the book. My sister Karin DeGraw edited the book. I wrote this book to help Jacob better understand his sister's difficulties in learning, talking and behaving. He periodically asks me, "When are you going to write another book?" I don't have the answer to that but perhaps one day I can write another book that he will enjoy. I am hopeful that more parents and children will find this book meaningful and just plain fun.
